Default Wheels Help?

I am in the market for some nice wheels. I've decided on either the PM Syndicate wheels or the new Extreme Machine Cruise. i have two questions.

1. What size wheels should I run I have a 2011 Ultra Limited with the 16.5 rear and the 17x3.5 fronts. I ride about 12k per year and like the looks of a larger wheel but do not want to sacrifice ride and handling quality.

2. Whom is a good dealer to buy from. I checked with two on-line dealers and their prices were much different.

Seems they want you to buy a wheel package with the rotors. I think this is where they really make their $$. I really do not need the rotor disc at 389 a piece but it seems to be the only way to get a better deal.


Any thoughts?

Also looking at their warranties I was a little disappointed. Paying $$$$ for wheels seems like they would be willing to cover them a little better with less restrictions.

The much cheaper HD Agitators are starting to appeal more and more to me the more I am thinking about this.

Any Thoughts?

Check with Eastern Performance. They will take care of your needs. I would assume companies offer package deals for several reasons. I can only comment on running a 21 front, no handling issues and I ride pretty aggressively at times in the twisties.

Hogpro would be my choice to get aftermarket wheels from. They really back up what they sell. Give them a call or email for some good advice.

I have a 21" front and 18" rear on my personal bike. I like the way it rides/handles and of course how it looks. I believe you have been communicating with Brad here at the shop. We do our best to try and provide our customers with good value and service. I'm sure he will get you taken care of once you decide on a size and style. Thanks for considering us for your needs!
